The property is designated in the Weld County Assessor's Office as parcel number 105736300023. The noxious weeds present on the property are Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium). Because these weeds are going to seed and producing viable seed that will infest neighboring lands, they must be mowed, cut or disked under to keep from blowing. Section 35-5.5-109, C.R.S. and Weld County code, Chapter 15, requires you to control the weeds by using at least one of these methods. Please be advised that if you do not control or eradicate these weeds by July 31, 2011, I will ask the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County for permission to enter the property to use one of these methods of control or eradication at your expense, as provided in Section 35-5.5-109 (5a) C.R.S. and Weld County Code, Chapter 15. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding the control or eradication of the noxious weeds on the property. I am also available to assist you in developing short and long term weed management plans. The office phone number is 970-304-6496 ext. 3772 for me or ext. 3770 for Tina Booton.

The property is designated by the Weld County Assessor's Office as parcel(s) number(s) 120936301084, 120935000025, 120936200005 and 120936200004. The noxious weeds present on the property are Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), Musk thistle (Carduus nutans) and Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula). Because these weeds are nearing bloom stage, they must be controlled and kept from going to seed. Presently, the best methods of control are: 1) to mow as necessary throughout the year to keep the weeds from going to seed (3-5 times) and then spray with herbicides in the fall, 2) to mow throughout the season to keep the plants from going to seed, 3) to spray with herbicides up to the early flower stage. Section 35-5.5-109, C.R.S. and Weld County Code, Chapter 15, requires you to control the weeds by using at least one of these methods by July 30, 2011 or submit an acceptable weed management plan with an acceptable completion date or request an arbitration panel by July 30, 2011. If you do not comply by July 30, 2011,I will request a Right of Entry from the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County to enter the property to control the designated noxious weeds at your expense, as provided in Section 35-5.5-109 (5a) C.R.S. and Weld County Code, Chapter 15. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding the control or eradication of the noxious weeds on the property.
